According to Mark Gurman’s newsletter “Power On” published on Bloomberg, Apple plans to launch new AirPods models with the expectation of a late 2024 release. I previously posted that there would be two more models and one more AirPods Max model on the roadmap for Cupertinos in October 2023, so it looks like the plan is still in place.

We will see new AirPods models in 2024

According to Gurman, for AirPods fans and those hoping for a design change: In addition to a new design that will fit our ears better, we will also see improved sound quality.. Once the Lightning port is removed, the charging case will come with USB-C. Another model of AirPods will have noise canceling feature and The charging case will include a small speaker to help play audio in case of loss of charge.We assume it will be activated from the search app.

This is the AirPods model with the best quality-price ratio on the market in 2024

Following these launches, the second and third generation AirPods will be released from the catalog. With all the logic in the world, there’s no point in keeping AirPods models in the backgroundFirst of all, two new models are coming and another important point is the USB-C port.

Some AirPods Max but not much renewal

In order to compromise or accommodate, as Apple has done before, AirPods Max will have a USB-C port instead of Lightning. This port will be used to charge those headphones and play wired audio. Gurman himself states that no major changes are planned for this new model. At most you can expect new colors as a change in the level of personalization.

Current AirPods were released in the catalog a long time ago. The third generation was released in October 2021, while AirPods Max, the most expensive in the catalog, appeared for the first time with a press release in December 2020.

Apple plans to release AirPods Max 2 in 2024

There’s no big news regarding the AirPods Pro 3, with changes to an updated chip being considered at the moment. Perhaps an H3 chip will be included, contributing to improved sound quality and design changes that have not yet been specified but may be minor.

Are the next generation AirPods fair and necessary? It’s completely surprising that Apple would handle two different versions but make significant changes. Let’s not forget that the current models differ only for the charging case (Lightning or MagSafe). A clue that may support this rumor is that Cupertinos keep the second generation AirPods on sale as an entry model.. The functions they plan to improve are completely in line with what is expected in a highly competitive market, considering what the competition is doing.
